  Ingredients

  Here's what you'll need to make a Blue Virgin Mojito:

  1. 8-10 fresh mint leaves
  2. 1 lime, cut into wedges
  3. 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  4. 1/4 cup of blueberries
  5. 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
  6. 1/4 cup of blueberry syrup (recipe below)
  7. 1 cup of club soda
  8. Crushed ice
  9. Blueberries and mint sprigs for garnish

  Blueberry Syrup Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 cup of blueberries
  2. 1/2 cup of water
  3. 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

  Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Syrup:

  a. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. b. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, and the blueberries break down, creating a syrupy consistency. c. Once the syrup has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool. You can strain the syrup to remove any solids if desired.

  2. Muddle the Mint and Lime:

  a. In a tall glass, add the fresh mint leaves and lime wedges. b. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint and lime together. This will release the mint's essential oils and lime juice, infusing your drink with flavor.

  3. Add Sugar and Blueberries:

  a. Add the granulated sugar and blueberries to the glass. b. Continue to muddle everything together, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the blueberries to release their juices.

  4. Combine Lime Juice and Blueberry Syrup:

  a. Pour in the fresh lime juice and blueberry syrup. b. Stir everything well to ensure all the ingredients are combined.

  5. Add Crushed Ice and Club Soda:

  a. Fill the glass with crushed ice. b. Top it up with club soda, leaving some space at the top for garnishes and stirring.

  6. Garnish and Serve:

  a. Give your Blue Virgin Mojito a gentle stir to combine all the flavors. b. Garnish with a few extra blueberries and a sprig of fresh mint. c. Optionally, you can rim the glass with sugar or add a slice of lime for an extra touch of elegance.
